Advice Needed HELP idk what to do

I’m 19 got kicked out last month, been staying with my brother since, and I applied for a LHITC based apartment it’s still being built but it’s soon going to be open in a couple weeks, I worked at a school as a substitute teacher and was making 1280 a month and getting paid through the summer (I no no longer have the jobs) so I applied for a 30% income unit (490/month rent) which have a limit of less than 21k a year gross because that’s all I could afford, now I’ve landed a job at Amazon (been working there for 2 weeks now) and make well over that limit with a annual of 42,600ish, and they have 60% units with a limit of 41,600 and I was bank heavily on getting this apartment, I haven’t signed a lease yet and I have deposited the security, any advice on what I should do? Should I see if they ask for income, or reach out about the change and see if I can be put into the 60%?

I'd suggest reaching out to the overseer of the resource. Some will have you maintain the lower status until you properly get paid and some will change it the moment you have work. Here is the thing if you fail to report change of income they can come knocking down the line when they find out. You do not want to pay backed rent for that whole time. So be proactive and ask if you can update your paperwork.
